L'Osservatore Romano[a] is the daily newspaper of Vatican City which reports on the activities of the Holy See and events taking place in the Catholic Church and the world.[1][2] It is owned by the Holy See but is not an official publication, a role reserved for the Acta Apostolicae Sedis, which acts as a government gazette.[3][4][2] The views expressed in the Osservatore are those of individual authors unless they appear under the specific titles "Nostre Informazioni" or "Santa Sede".[5][6]

Available in nine languages, the paper prints two Latin mottos under the masthead of each edition: Unicuique suum ('To each his own') and Non praevalebunt ('[The gates of Hell] shall not prevail').[b] The current editor-in-chief is Andrea Monda.
